Lotus Racing's Jarno Trulli was left frustrated by the hydraulics failure which brought his Turkish Grand Prix to an early end.

Trulli and his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen failed to finish, retiring on laps 32 and 33 respectively.

Trulli told the BBC: "We were on two different strategies so I let him by at one stage because the soft tyres were looking slightly quicker.

"After that, I was quicker but then the hydraulics gave up."

Lotus Racing updated the two cars with a new rear wing for the Turkish Grand Prix and, before the retirements, the team was having one its best days of the season so far.

"It's a shame because we were running well, so we need to fix these problems," Trulli added.

It is the second consecutive race that the Italian has failed to finish.
